Unable to install wmii-hg

Hi,

I am upgrading my system from 32bit to 64bit. Everything went smoothly, but I cannot install wmii-hg.

I first updated libixp-hg, and then tried to install wmii-hg. I get an error message:

cc -o wmiir.out wmiir.o -Wl,-O1,--sort-common -z,relro -g -ldl -g -ldl -L../lib -L/usr/lib -lXrender -lX11 -ldl ../lib/libstuff.a ../lib/libregexp9.a ../lib/libbio.a ../lib/libfmt.a ../lib/libutf.a /usr/lib/libixp.a
cc: error: /usr/lib/libixp.a: No such file or directory
../mk/hdr.mk:74: recipe for target 'wmiir.out' failed
make[1]: *** [wmiir.out] Error 1
mk/dir.mk:15: recipe for target 'dall' failed
make: *** [dall] Error 2
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

This is nor surprising since libixp-hg package does not install `/usr/lib/libixp.a` file.

ibixp-hg /usr/
libixp-hg /usr/bin/
libixp-hg /usr/bin/ixpc
libixp-hg /usr/include/
libixp-hg /usr/include/ixp.h
libixp-hg /usr/include/ixp_srvutil.h
libixp-hg /usr/lib/
libixp-hg /usr/share/
libixp-hg /usr/share/licenses/
libixp-hg /usr/share/licenses/libixp-hg/
libixp-hg /usr/share/licenses/libixp-hg/LICENSE
libixp-hg /usr/share/man/
libixp-hg /usr/share/man/....

Any ideas on how to proceed to install wmii-hg?

Re: Unable to install wmii-hg

Why is libixp-hg relevant?

The wmii-hg package depends on libx11, libxinerama, and libxrandr, all of which are in the official repositories.

What method or application do you use to install AUR packages?

Because wmii-hg has

makedepends=("mercurial" "txt2tags" "libixp-hg" "libxft")

The wmii-hg package depends on libx11, libxinerama, and libxrandr, all of which are in the official repositories.

I am installing using packer, but I also tried installing by downloading the .tar.gz file from aur and running makepkg.

Re: Unable to install wmii-hg

Recently makepkg's default options were changed to remove static libraries from packages. You need

options=('staticlibs')

in libixp's PKGBUILD.

Thanks. That was it.
